There’s no doubt that Horisont is aiming for a Michelin star—and rightly so. A quick look into the head chef’s background, with silver and gold medals from the Chef’s Olympics, already sets high expectations.
The service was impeccable—attentive, smooth, and professional, and you were never left waiting or unattended. That said, it did feel a bit too restrained at times. A slightly more relaxed, open, and engaging approach from the service team would make the experience feel warmer and more personal, especially in such a high-level setting.
As a wine enthusiast, I did feel slightly let down by the wine glasses, which didn’t quite match the quality of the wine list or the overall experience. With such a carefully curated and impressive selection, this detail matters—and I consider this serious, constructive criticism that I hope is taken into account.
When it comes to food, it’s clear that attention to detail, visual artistry, and technical precision are central to the kitchen’s philosophy. Most dishes were beautifully balanced and enjoyable, though there were a few moments where the palate felt slightly off or a component was a touch overcooked. That said, I have no doubt any inconsistencies were already addressed that very night—because what impressed me most was that the chef personally visited our table to ask for feedback. Not as a formality, but with genuine interest and humility. He took the time to listen and discuss, showing that this is far more than a job—it’s his passion and calling.
The setting is another star in itself—located on the 30th floor, with a mesmerising view over Tallinn. It truly adds to the experience.
Overall, I highly recommend Horisont—whether for a romantic dinner or a business meeting (once those wine glasses are upgraded!). With its clear ambition and sincere dedication, I wouldn’t be surprised if they earn their Michelin star very soon. So if you’re thinking of going—go now, before they have a well-earned reason to raise the prices. 😉
